For three years, the world suffered from a pandemic. Millions died, and countries were destroyed. The United States was not spared and divided into east and west. In the east, the government was controlled by the military. In a desperate attempt to fund a bankrupt budget, it turned to drug and human trafficking. The western states set up a provisional government and supported an underground movement in the east. Five years after the last pandemic, an underground unit in the east was ordered to disband and its members were to escape. As Frank Edwards began his escape, he wanted to escape not only from the nightmare that he had been fighting in the east, but from his own personal nightmares. His escape would require the help of the Ojibwa and Lakota tribes from whom he would learn of the nightmares that Native people have lived through. Just as his escape started, he came across a human trafficking operation. In the group of prisoners were Alissa Montgomery and her daughter; she had worked for Frank before the pandemics came. Should he try a suicidal rescue attempt and save them from their nightmare or continue on without them and add to his nightmares? Beyond the Nightmare is not only about getting beyond the nightmares of life, but about a journey of recovery, healing, restoration, and rejoicing in the day the nightmare ends.

In the global era, controversies abound over temporary labour migration; however, it has not previously been subjected to a sustained socio-legal analysis on a comparative basis, critiquing the underpinning concepts conventionally accepted as fundamental in this area. This collection of essays aims to fill that void. Complex regulatory challenges arise from temporary labour migration. This collection examines these challenges and the extent to which temporary labour migration programmes can be ethical, equitable and efficacious and so deliver decent work for workers. Whilst the tendency for migration law to divide labour law's worker-protective mission has been observed before, the authors of the chapters comprising this collection seek not only to interrogate why and how this is so, but to go further in examining the implications and effects of a wide range of regulatory mechanisms on temporary labour migration.

The term "Continuity of Government," or COG, runs from the dubious "duck and cover" method of personal protection against the effects of a nuclear explosion to the more serious measures of continual government inventories of grain silos, the Strategic National Stockpile, the uncapping of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, the dispersal of transportable bridges, water purification, mobile refineries, mobile de-contamination facilities, mobile general and special purpose disaster mortuary facilities. For anyone researching in the field of COG - from Civil Defense to Presidential succession to the various U.S.-based COG operations (Operations OPAL, ALERT, BUSTER, JANGLE. DESERT ROCK, UPSHOT, KEYHOLE, etc.), this book reflects two years of research by the author within the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). Of interest may be the first 100 pages on the history of COG and also the listing of thousands of COG-related titles that rest on the shelves in NARA for your additional scrutiny.
